I
understand the impact that sixteen
weeks can have on a person’s life.
One week ago, my first child turned
four months old and my life is
forever changed.
I’ve done it once, and I can do it
again. I challenged myself to become
fit, and within four months I could
not believe the transformation in
not only my physical appearance, but
in my entire life. I exercised every
day because it felt good and because
I wanted to. I ate much healthier,
and I felt fabulous. Then I let it
all slip away. I stopped eating
well, and I stopped exercising.
For
three years now I have put my health
on hold, and suffered for it. I’ve
gained 40 pounds, and I am not able
to enjoy the physical activities
that I once loved. I don’t even
feel like the same person that I
was. I’ve actually began to dread
the warm weather because it means
less clothes to cover up with.
It’s
time to deal with life. I want to
become healthy again. I want to feel
good about myself inside and out. I
would love one day to teach my
daughter to swim and to play sports,
and to keep up with her doing it. I
want her to grow up leading a
healthy lifestyle. She will learn
from me, so I need to set a great
example. I know that if I can do it
for sixteen weeks, I can keep doing
it because now I understand what
will happen if I don’t.
I
am ready to begin this
transformation; ready to become a
healthy person. I want to challenge
myself to start living life again,
not watching from the side. This
challenge will help me keep my
motivation high, and help me to
become who I know I am. There’s no
reason why I can’t, only a million
reasons why I must.
Thank
you for entering me in the
transformation challenge!
